Nick's Christmas fallout 2015

Wow...is Christmas really over already? Halloween flew by, Thanksgiving was a blur and now Christmas is but just a memory. But now, it's fallout time! Let's see those hauls!

Now, I did a fallout post last year, and I wasn't going to do one this year, but I was called out by Chad of The Horror Movie BBQ on Twitter (as well as a few others!).

So without further ado, here's some of the goodies I received from friends and family...

Cinema of Fear II figures!
Admittedly, I don't know much about these, or that they even existed. But boy, am I glad they do! A NEW NIGHTMARE style Freddy toy, are you kidding me?! And a sack-head Jason?! Hell yes!

My fiance's sister's boyfriend got these for me from a local vintage toy store -- may have to make a trip myself.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET trading cards!
Don't be fooled. These look like old stock, but they're not -- they're new(ish). A website URL on the bottom of the box was a dead giveaway. Either way, I love these and can't bring myself to open them. And it kind of looks like Freddy is flipping me off, which I'm 100% okay with.

FROM HELL Blu-ray!
FROM HELL is one of my all-time favorite true-crime thrillers. And Johnny Depp's performance is nothing short of amazing. And Heather Graham as a dirty whore. And, duh, Jack the Ripper.

Leatherface and Jason Horror Headliners!
I almost forgot these even existed as well. These were hugely popular in the early in 2000s and were primarily found in just about every Spencer's in every mall. I remember owning the Jason one at one point (and perhaps I still do, somewhere). I may track down the Freddy figure to complete the set. Good times.

This is going to conclude my 2015 Christmas fallout! Hope everyone is enjoying what they got! I know I am.

MOST POPULAR ON MORBIDMUCH THIS YEAR...

Surely by now, you've seen the bombshell that Blumhouse and Jamie Lee Curtis dropped yesterday. It is confirmed that Jamie Lee Curtis will be reprising her iconic role as Laurie Strode in the upcoming Halloween movie scheduled for release in 2018.

What's funny, though, is that we've known since the beginning that this new film was going to be a direct sequel to the earliest installments. So you can imagine the massive amounts of eye-rolling I did when I saw people complaining and saying that Jame Lee died in Halloween: Resurrection, how could she possibly return? Well, it's simple, they're pulling a Halloween H20 and ignoring all previous installments. So this is essentially Halloween H40.

But that's not my theory. I think this is pretty much known. However, here's what I actually think is going to go down...

I believe that this new movie will not be a sequel 1981's Halloween II, but rather a direct sequel to 1978's Halloween.

Yesterday was a fun day. Not only was it my birthday, but my girlfriend agreed to accompany me on a three-hour road trip to southern Indiana to check out some of the filming locations of ROSEANNE. Let me just say Evansville, Indiana is Lanford, Illinois.

Also, I'd just like to add, with simple Google searches, all the locales were relatively easy to find -- no back-roads or DELIVERANCE-style expeditions needed.

Okay, so let's get this ball rolling, shall we.

We'll start off with the infamous Third & Delaware street sign.

This is how it appeared in 1989...

And this is how it looks in 2015...

As you can see, the sign is new and they've swapped positions. But, this is the same intersection and this is the original location. Take notice of the tree in the background. That same tree is visible behind the screenshot from the show.

Now let's take a look at Lanford's favorite watering hole, the Lobo! This is how it appeared in the show...

Full disclosure: I've never even heard of this movie before yesterday. I just so happened to stumble across a review for it on another site. I didn't read the whole review, just skimmed it, and it was enough to push me into the direction of watching it.

Surprisingly, it wasn't very hard to track down a digital copy, so that's exactly what I did.

The movies opens in the aftermath of a murder spree, there's police markers and evidence tags everywhere. It's clear that something just went down. We're given a little bit of backstory clarity when we're introduced the main character, Rachel.

Rachel is the sole survivor of the killings that pre-date this movie. It's three years later and her and her college friends are planning a spring break getaway. Naturally, they all choose to go to a remote cabin deep in the woods. Sounds about right for a slasher flick.

Now, the movie's pretty transparent about who the killer is, even the filmmakers aren…
